AnAngryAmerican Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Even though he was snubbed from the Pro Bowl it was good to see Justin Simmons named Second Team All Pro. https://www.nfl.com/_amp/2021-all-pro-team-jonathan-taylor-t-j-watt-cooper-kupp-highlight-roster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Is it bad that I'm happy that I'm happy the Raidersost by a touchdown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaBronco Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Watching McKenzie ball out the last few weeks makes me sad Basically watching playoff football and seeing playmakers being used creatively makes me sad. The execution of jet sweeps and goal line slant option routes is miles ahead of anything the Broncos have done in years.

bMiller031 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Parsons reminds me of Von in 2011. Not play style as much as “dang, this guy seems to do something super impressive every 3-4 snaps” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEY - don't speak ill of the jet sweep motion with a Jeudy/Spencer fake snap!!! (THE WORST PLAY IN ALL OF FOOTBALL). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bMiller031 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Von just had his first playoff sack since 2015. What a disgrace this org has been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosfan_101 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I wish this to be the last season of 7 teams making the playoffs per conference. I know it won’t be, but wow there’s been a bunch of ****ty football played this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ-x Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I know he was with the Raiders but being nostalgic I hate seeing Mayock go with the possibility of him never really contributing to current football. Regardless of what you think of them, Kiper/Mayock are/were formidable when it came to the NFL draft. Just the names take me back to when I first joined the forum and with Kiper beyond that.

I understand why you did it here, but Mayock and Kiper don’t belong in the same conversation. Kiper’s an amalgamator. Combine a whole bunch of opinions together (much like what most of us do here) and regurgitate it for the masses. But Mayock’s a football guy. He’s the talent that a guy like Kiper calls to get real info. I like Mayock a lot, I think he got a raw deal here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Davis might just want to completely clean house or has a HC candidate in mind to whom he plans to give final say authority (e.g., Harbaugh). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The Raiders under Gruden/Mayock struck out on 1st round picks about as badly as you can. The one “hit” is a RB who is solid, not a difference maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one “hit” is a RB who is solid, not a difference maker. As others have eluded to, there is just no way we'll ever know how much influence Mayock had on those early picks. The Coach with the 10 year contract is going to get final say on EVERYTHING, and you can't tell me that Gruden wasn't the one driving the 1st round picks. What's funny is that you can tell Gruden basically watched Clemson and Alabama games and decided which eligible players he liked most. From 2019 - 2021, the Raiders drafted 8 players in the first 2 rounds; 3 from Alabama and 2 from Clemson. I hope Mayock gets another gig in a FO somewhere so we can get an idea on what his draft capability actually is. The Raiders have had some hits in his stint for sure, so it's not like he was an abject failure. That Ferrell pick is the one, though. Whoever was responsible for that is, well, not great at their job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever was responsible for that is, well, not great at their job. I think if you look at the day three picks, that would give you an idea on Mayock’s ability. Gruden probably wasn’t gonna care enough about those picks to have serious input. And while it’s way too early to write the book on any day three picks from 2020/21, somebody there found Maxx Crosby and Hunter Renfroe in 2019. I’d bet that was Mayock and his staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great might be a push, because he's yet another undersized SG (6ft 2). Like John Hollinger said in his article on it (a full article on this trade feels bonkers) - the best thing about this trade is it means the Nuggets feel they can contend this year. That has to mean they feel Jamal and perhaps even MPJ are going to contribute this season. Crazy game last night. Made me a bit sad to see Jokic's Defense revert back to previous years, but it's hard to be mad at the guy going off for 49 points and making a(nother) insane pass that leads to the game winner.
